YMMV / Bunk'd

• Broken Base:
  • Over whether or not Disney Channel should've renewed JESSIE for a fifth season instead of ordering this show. Or at least smoothed over the transition by having Debby Ryan guest star in a few episodes. When it was announced Cameron Boyce would guest-star as Luke, it eased the damage a bit.
  • Besides that, over the basic premise of the show and why would a famously rich Manhattan couple send their children to a backwoods summer camp in Maine, or how a series that takes place entirely during the summer months is supposed to sustain itself for several 26-episode long seasons. The former argument can at least be covered by a statement in the pilot that noted how the Ross's parents attended the exact same camp. They might have wanted their kids to have the same experience. As for the latter argument, some have countered by invoking Phineas and Ferb and Gravity Falls (both spanning multiple seasons over one summer), but those were cartoons, so the characters didn't have to age (something that can't be avoided with characters in a live-action series, particularly if played by child actors). However, the series asserts that the next season take place over another summer.
  • Likewise the announcement that season 6 would switch locations from the camp to a ranch got a mixed reaction, with some thinking it's a refreshing change of pace and that the show had gotten all the mileage it could out of the summer camp premise so the change in location was needed. While others think it's straying too far from the original premise of the show and aren't happy with the introduction of yet more new main characters, especially after the last introductions of new main characters already had some pushback.
• Ensemble Dark Horse: Griff the delinquent is well liked by fans, many comparing him to Oliver Twist.
• Fanon Discontinuity: Given the Seasonal Rot got pretty bad once Season 4 rolled and that the Series Fauxnale acts as a conclusion to the Ross children as well as the series last connection with it's parent series JESSIE, some prefer to ignore everything after Season 3. Even some people would pretend that the post Season 2 episodes never happened due to Xander, Jorge, and Tiffany's removals.
  • Given the divisive nature of the spin-off, there's a good number of fans of JESSIE that prefer to ignore the whole thing.
• Fridge Sadness: In the season 5 finale, Finn and Matteo were worried that they would have to get used to another counselor since Noah was going to Australia to film a movie and were used to Parker and didn't want him to leave either. Both either figured out they could stay or decided to do so for the next summer. Season 6 takes place in a new camp without Finn and Matteo but with not only Noah and Parker, but also Lou and their best friend Destiny. Imagine how they felt when getting to the camp and not seeing their inner circle for the past three years (Destiny and Lou) or two years (Noah).
• Nightmare Fuel: The mind-controlling fog in "Fog'd In" is actually really creepy. It doesn't help that 1) it gives its victims the Voice of the Legion and 2) it's actively working to make people succumb to it.
  "YOU MUST BREATHE FOG!"
• One-Scene Wonder: Bertram's appearance during the Season 2 premiere is this, as his scene during the beginning of the episode was a sight many fans enjoyed.
• Replacement Scrappy:
  • The series itself to JESSIE. Ironically, JESSIE itself was criticized as being a Replacement Scrappy Series to Debby Ryan's previous show, The Suite Life on Deck which in turn was again criticized as a Replacement Scrappy Series to The Suite Life of Zack & Cody.
  • Glady & Murphy can be seen as this to Bertram.
  • Matteo, Finn, and Destiny are these to Xander, Jorge, and Tiffany.
• Seasonal Rot:
  • While it was never a critic's favorite in the first place is commonly agreeded that Season 3 took a drop in quality by giving Xander, Jorge, and Tiffany the Chuck Cunningham Syndrome, removing Gladys, Hazel, and Griff effectively removing all conflict from the show so the Ross children are now the bosses of the Camp Kikiwaka and giving excesive focus to the Cousin Oliver trio of Matteo, Finn, and Destiny. The Series Fauxnale however was well received.
  • Season 4 not only didn't fix any of the issues with Season 3 but arguably make them even worse, with now everyone but Lou leaving from the original cast and the rest of the characters being blatant Cousin Olivers Replacement Scrappies from the original cast, leading to more than a few viewers to wonder why they even bothered to continue if barely anyone from the original cast would be in the show anymore and it no longer has much of a connection with ''JESSIE'', the series it was meant to be an spin-off of in the first place. Even those who did enjoy Season 3 tend to admit from this point and onwards the show was barely watchable anymore.
• The Scrappy:
  • Hazel, right off the bat in the first episode. Most people just find her obsessively possessive over Xander and unjustly mean to Emma which, besides the feud between her aunt and Emma's mother comes out of nowhere.
  • Hazel's aunt Gladys for being annoying, unable to let go and punishing the campers and CIT's for her own failings in life.
  • Zuri's The Scrappy status is carried over and then some. She is seen as selfish, shallow, manipulative, and overall a greedy character.
• Special Effects Failure: The giant fish that Lou and Ravi catch in “The Ones That Got Away” looks hilariously fake.
• They Changed It, Now It Sucks!:
  • The three new campers that were introduced in Season 3 weren't well received by fans, especially since it coincided with much of the supporting cast leaving.
  • The announcement that season 6 will be taking place on a ranch instead of in the camp has received some criticism.
• Toy Ship: Gwen/Matteo
• The Woobie:
  • Tiffany and Ravi for their Cassandra Truth that the Kikiwaka exists.
  • Griff. He's been in and out of foster homes, in Juvie, and not well adjusted to life outside of jail.
  • The camper named Timmy, always being kicked out of camp every time he tries to get in. In his latest appearance, he gives up all hope on getting into the camp and instead goes to live with the Kikiwaka family, just as Lou is considering inviting him, and all the campers are wondering what he's doing out there by then.
